Ontario County sheriff's deputies responded Wednesday to a crash involving a Potter Highway Department dump truck and a minivan on Route 247 in Gorham.

Deputies said Thomas E. Quinn, 50, of 1916 Warren Road, Middlesex, was operating the dump truck south on Route 247 at about 1:30 p.m. when the truck blew a right front tire, exited the highway and turned on its side. Hella Santee, 74, of 4444 Route 247, Gorham, was standing near her vehicle on the driver's side after getting the mail from her mailbox. The gravel load struck the minivan on the passenger side, causing the minivan to strike Santee, deputies said.

Quinn complained of shoulder pain and was taken to Thompson Hospital by Stanley-Hall-Gorham Ambulance Service personnel, deputies said. Santee complained of pain throughout her body and was taken to Thompson by Finger Lakes Ambulance personnel.
